Today a Turkish couple was shopping at the store.
Very, very regular customers.
Anyway, they wanted to buy four folding chairs, and I had a lot of fun already following their argument about whether to get blue or black ones.
While he was following A. into the direction of the cellar (and the chairs), she stood there, rolling her eyes, announcing to the world in general that blue chairs would not match anything in their kitchen at all.
Returning with the chairs he had to admit that his wife was right and that the black ones definitely had more style.
Then he asked me if he could leave the chairs at the register while they continued shopping instead of breaking his back with them. I told him that - quite on the contrary - he might even tone his muscles by carrying ‘em around for half an hour.
He said he’d rather pass, as he had seriously been having troubles with his back, and today was the first day that he felt able to attempt carrying anything again. “And already I have to carry these chairs; I think my wife is after my life insurance.”
When they were almost done, hubby stopped to look at a couple of watches. Like any undecided customer would do it. Handle this package, handle that one, approach me with a question about one watch (which I couldn’t answer the way I would have liked to, as the boss chose that moment to make an appearance; but the dude didn’t pick that watch then anyway, phew!), put that package back, stare thoughtfully at another one…..
… while all the while the boss was watching him very, very intently.
Yes, I know, even nice and funny people might attempt thefts. Even regular customers might attempt thefts. I just wish he’d stop watching every Turk, “Arab”, Russian, Sri Lankan or black person like a hawk…
A couple of months ago a former colleague was shopping at our place with her husband (both Russians), and he told me to follow them and make sure they didn’t steal. Hello?! All the time she worked there, there was never any reason to suspect her of anything. There just isn’t. She’s way too moral!
Bah, bah, bah…..
Still no sign of Orlando by the way; this is starting to worry me. 
What else is “new”?
I still don’t know what “asshole” means in Arabic; shame on the Kid for suddenly having to log off. As my sister put it, one should never miss an opportunity to broaden one’s horizon.
The mutilated knuckle of my thumb is red and swollen and hurts; I think I really deserve some pity here… *pouts*
Oh, and I’m bored, so some more senseless picture posting:
Behold Birger, the Saxon…
… teaching me a bit of swordplay

Like, English pronunciation? Like the word “tease”????
Ok, all I gotta do now is get a mike and use it on the Kid who failed to teach it to me.
Hah, that’s what comments made while half drunk do to you; they attract new readers….
P.S.: See what I mean btw? Posting here may be annoying, but at least you don’t have to read through tons of spam in the comment section…

Mel, I found that using comment preview (e.g., first you click preview, you see your message and then you can click submit) effectively keeps all spambots off as well.

Muffin Man, how about if I sexily chop off your head?
Frenzie: Dude, that’s not built into the blogspot comments, you know. So you’ll just have to live with the word verification, dear.
